... to go back in to the living room. I got yet ANOTHER device for the man-tainment center. This brings the total gadget count (not including accessories) to 5, each with corresponding remotes. I declared defeat against the onslaught of IR devices and bough a universal remote. You can see where this is going, can't you? FOUR HOURS (including time to hook up the new toy, WIIII!!!!) This isn't even one of the scary remotes where you're entering codes and hoping all the keys map correctly. This one came with a USB cable, software, and a fairly simple trouble shooting process. It should have been a piece of cake! But no, apparently getting it to switch between "AV" input and "Component1" input correctly every time is damn near impossible. It's as done as I'm getting it. Five remotes consolidated down to two (the wii is bluetooth, can't be controlled by this remote). Now, to get rid of all the packaging debris in my living room =) Anybody need twist ties?
Wow. While wrestling with the in-laws' remotes the other day, I told Matt I'd require a universal one. I am rethinking that now.

It's not the remote that's hard to work, it's the set up. The remote itself is pretty awesome.
